This does not include at least $4,000 of
sales made by partial payments and not re-
corded. The prices paid for land range
from $50 to $3.50 per acres. The Thermalito
Colony Company have sold two-thirds of
their tract in small lots. Numbers of
people are shown over the tract every
day. 1t is rare thing for them not to sell
to person visiting the colony. Sales are
made by moonlight as well as daylight,
and their agents are longing for day of
rest The orders for I1,r
orange, olive, lemon, and vine for the
coming season amount to over S., 900 to one
nursery. Telephone communication has
been made with Thermalito, the hotel is |
well under way, and the new system of re-
servoir and water works insures the best
advantages in that way. The price of land
has not been raised, and the management
say that they will not do as long as they
sell at least one-half to actual settlers.
